If the source of existence is a tangible thing, then who is the creator of this Being or 'thing' call the Source?
So can the Source be a thing or an object? If the Source can be an object, then how can it be the ultimate beginning? Because if it is an object/thing/Being, then who is the creator of this object/thing/Being? By conventional rationalisation, if it is an object, there must be a creator for this object. If it is not so, can a thing or an object be already self-existing? This is indeed a paradoxical, yet profound question.
My opinion is that when we try to interpret the Source with our intellectualization, we are in fact trying to imagine/conceptualise the Ungraspable. And by this very action of our intellectualization, the Source becomes just an idea or concept and in our mind it becomes 'objectified' and conceptualised. Metaphorically speaking, it is like a cat trying to bite its own tail. We will be going round and round in circles and still no sight of the Source can be seen.
From my understanding, perhaps in reality there call be no creator-creation division. Perhaps our conventional way of experiencing the world, is an optical, perceptual and experiential illusion. Observer(which is me, the individual self) and the being observed (others and the world around) is a hypnotic thought... creating the appearance of 'me and other'.. This is quite hard to explain. The closest analogy is that life experience is like a dream of an individual self. The experience of an individual interacting with his/her environment is an impression. |
